Celebrating Songkran the nudie way

Have you ever heard about Songkran? Well, don’t worry if you haven’t, until a month of two before we also had no idea what it is. Long story short, Songkran is the Thai new year. In fact, it used to be the Thai new year, because since 1940 the government has set the official new year’s date to the first of January, to be more aligned with the west. But yet Songkran is still celebrated … Read more

Review: Arroyo del Sol near Los Angeles, USA

After more than a week in New York, it was time to get away from the cold weather and move to the other side of the USA, to California. Well, at least half of that plan worked out, we did get to California. We shouldn’t complain though, the temperatures weren’t as tropical as we would have wished them to be, but we had a great place to go to: nudist B&B Arroyo del Sol.   … Read more

The Naturist Talks: Howard from the UK

One of the main reasons why we started this project is to show the world that naturists are not some strange dark commune but that actually everyone could be one… Or could enjoy being one if they took the first step.   Our main example of “everyone” is of course ourselves, we write posts about naturism in general but also about our own experiences. But some of you might be thinking “Yes sure, those two … Read more

It all started with a coupon

We love new experiences. That’s probably the main reason why we like to travel so much. We love the adrenaline of doing something we’ve never done before, to be lost in translation in far away countries, to have a cold shower at minus 25 in the Andes mountains, to discover that we’ve been eating cow stomagh while we thought it was some kind of vegetable, to jump in rivers, swim in oceans and sleep in … Read more

Clothing-Optional: What does it mean?

Clothing-Optional: What does it mean?

We visited several clothing-optional resorts lately and were kinda surprised of how many questions we received about this concept. Especially on our Instagram Stories, because that’s where you can follow our travels live (in case you didn’t know this yet). Most people know naturism and/or nudism as these terms have existed for over a century. Clothing-Optional is rather new, from what we read, it only started being used in the eighties or nineties.     … Read more

What can we learn from Latin American nudists?

What can we learn from Latin American nudists?

When you think about naturist destinations, countries like Colombia, Peru, or Bolivia probably aren’t the first that pop into mind. And if they do, it’s probably more in the sense of “Wouldn’t it be great if there was naturism in Ecuador?”. Well, we can tell you, there is. And not just in the aforementioned countries, but also in several other parts of Latin America.   Don’t expect Caribbean-style resorts or French-style village-sized campsites though. Naturism … Read more

Nudism 2.0

During the last weeks we’ve been talking about what will become of nudism in The future of nudism part one and part two. Shortly summarized, we think that nudism “as we know it” will eventually disappear and make place for a newer kind of nudism, Nudism 2.0 if you want. This new kind of nudism will focus much more on what the younger generation wants. Less jeu de boule tournaments, less swim evenings and less … Read more
